Spain Beats Austria 3-0 to Storm Into World Cup Round of 16

Mega IconJuly 2, 20261 Mins read8 Views

European champions Spain emphatically ended their twelve-year World Cup knockout hoodoo by delivering a flawless 3-0 masterclass against Austria at SoFi Stadium.

Luis de la Fuente’s men completely dominated from the opening whistle, effortlessly dismantling Ralf Rangnick’s high-pressing system and securing their fourth consecutive clean sheet of the tournament.

Real Sociedad striker Mikel Oyarzabal stole the headlines by netting a brilliant brace, breaking the first-half deadlock via a slick Marc Cucurella assist before capping off the comprehensive victory with a ruthless 89th-minute finish.

Sandwiched between Oyarzabal’s strikes, defender Pedro Porro rose highest in the 66th minute to power home an unstoppable header from an Alex Baena cross.

The commanding victory extends La Roja’s spectacular unbeaten run to thirty-four matches and cements their status as heavy favorites to lift the trophy.

While a thoroughly outclassed Austria bows out of North America with pride, Spain now marches dynamically into a highly anticipated Round of 16 showdown in Dallas against either Portugal or Croatia.
